.The present invention relates to acooling device and has for its principal object to provide means for cooling the lubricating oil of an internal combustion engine.

Another important object of the invention is-to provide a device of this nature which will be simple and eflicient in construction, reliable in operation, comparatively inexpensive to manufacture and well adapted to the urpose for which it is designed.

l ith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention residesin the co ninat ion and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that ohanges in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be inade within the scope of what is claimed without de a'rti'ng from the spirit of the invention.

plurality of-tubes 10 connect t n the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective of the device, F igure 2 is a perspective showing the .jaeket and coil,

Figure 3 is a perspective of the radiator, Figured isa front elevation thereof, Fi ure 5 is a transverse section through the evic'e'taken substantially on line 5-5 of Figurefi, and

' .F;ig ure'6 is a central longitndinal section- .thereth oug Referring to the drawingsin detail, it will be seen that 1,. designates a jacket or. drum which is provided at' its rearend with a flange 2'; a coil..3 .is' disposed within the jacket ha'vifi an inlet 4 extending therethrough, an an outlet 5 extending theretlir'oligh adjacent the ends thereof; The

jacket is provided with a filling neck or inet 6 having a closure cap 7 thereon.

A cooling device is disposed with n the jacket 1 and the'coil 3 for the purpose of cooling'the wntentsof the coil 3. Inthe coolin device is included a drum 8 which is provi ed with. auplurality (ii-apertures 9.; A

4 e apertures 9 lfi' fi tillllfifimted-to advanta e in Fig. G it beingnotedthat thetubes ex" (1 parallel with compartment therebetwu'n, a

v and communieatin each other and preferably vertical although this is not necessary. A flange 11 is fixed to the forward end of the drum 8. The drum 8 is constructed so as to telescope within the acket 1 and coil 2 and is held in place by the olts 12 which pass through the flanges 11 and 2. Suitable gaskets 13 are disposed between the flan e 2 and the rear end of the drum 8 and also, etween the forward end ofthe drum 1 and the flange 11.. It is to be understood that water is 1 and tubes 10. t

The forward end of the drum 8 is pro-- vided with internal threads for receivin the threaded flange 13 of thecone shape extension 14. A shaft 16 is journaled'oentrally and longitudinally of the extension 14 by suitable brackets 17 and a fan 18 is rotatable on this shaft 16 being provided. with the hub 19 having keyed thereto a palley 20 so that a belt may be trained thereover and driven by the engine or other suitable means.

The oil. of the internal combustion engine will be pumped through the coil 3 and wili be cooled by the water in thejaeket 1 and tubes 8 which water in turn will be cooled by placed in the jacket the air passing through the drum 8 caused by the forward movement of the vehicle" upon which the internal combustion engine is mounted and also by the fan 18. It is thought that the advantages and construe tion ofthe invention will be clearly understood without a more detailed description thereof. It is desired, however, to pointoat that the device will act efficiently for cool" ing the oil and at the same time is con flange at one end, a; coil dis'posed'within-the I jacket, adrum having a flange at one and opposite the flange on the jacket, said drum disposed within the coil and the jacket,

means for engaglng the flanges so as to hold the jacket and drum together, andform a luralit of tubes extending transversely oi the rum within said com artment.

2. In combination, a jacket aving a. flange at one end, a coil disposed within the jacket, a druinhaving a flange at one end oppositethe flange on the jacket, said drum disposed within the coil and the jacket, In testimon whereof I afiix mysignature means for engaging the flanges so as to hold in presence 0 two witnesses. the jacket and drum together, and forme compartment therehetween, a plurality of CHARLES E. RICE. I tubes extending transversely of the drum Witnesses:
